 Technically it is a semantics bug fix actually, as the TURBOchannel 
firmware specification (from Jan 1993) says it's:

typedef struct{ int pagesize; unsigned char bitmap[];}memmap;
int getbitmap(memmap *map);

(formatting preserved as in the document) so it should have always been a 
flexible array member.  Maybe old (2.x) GCC versions had an issue with it 
or something, as otherwise I can't imagine why whoever added our typedef 
did it differently from the spec.

 Not sure if you can retrofit it, but:
